Johnny has done martial arts his entire life and was a martial arts champion doing TV and Movies when he met Rickson Gracie, then his life changed when he was helpless against Gracie Jiu Jitsu.  He then spent the next 30 years trying to master BJJ.

Lots of great stories of training in the early days, his influence from Rickson and Carlos Machado, and how its been passed down to his own student Daniel O'Brien who runs Triad Martial Arts.

Johnny now teaches law enforcement full time and certifies thousands of officers every year.  He feels it is his calling to help the law enforcement community and has become one of their biggest advocates.
